Nos Lendemains Lyrics in English by Vianney
Lendemains literally translates to "tomorrows" or "days after." While "demain" (tomorrow) is common, the plural form lendemains is more poetic and implies a succession of future days, often with a sense of hope or consequence.
In "Nos Lendemains," Vianney uses this word as a central theme, singing "Je m'en remets à nos lendemains" (I surrender to our tomorrows) and "On renaît dans le lendemain tu vois" (We are reborn in tomorrow, you see). It encapsulates the song's message of resilience, hope, and finding renewal in the future, making it a powerful and memorable word.
Vianney's "Nos lendemains" is a really hopeful song about looking to the future, even when things are tough. He talks about how there can be "torrents dans les rues de nos enfances" [torrents in the streets of our childhoods], suggesting past struggles that aren't always visible. But the song encourages us to "casser les murs des prisons qu'on se fait" [break the walls of the prisons we make for ourselves] and escape towards our true selves. It's all about improvising and knowing how to hold on, even when you're never prepared for the worst.
The core message is in the chorus: "Je m'en remets à nos lendemains / On renaît dans le lendemain tu vois" [I surrender to our tomorrows / We are reborn in tomorrow, you see]. It's a beautiful idea that even when sadness comes, time will extinguish it. He mentions an awaited child who was "que de passage" [only passing through] but will return, which could be about a lost dream or a temporary setback. The song reminds us to get back up, know how to grow, and "fleurir" [bloom] the day after. We hold on, and we hold each other, through our tomorrows.
